THE LARGEST SILO IN THE WORLD?

We have probably constructed the largest functional silo for natural gypsum in the world. Below are its basic characteristics. We provided the customer with a structure analysis, static computation with calculations, a 3D model, a technological document regarding stainless steel inserts / lining, a detailed bill of materials, both structured and partial (BOM structured, Parts), DXF files for burning individual parts and of course the production technical documentation – drawings in PDF format.

It was a long two months when our team (Tomas, Marek and me) worked intensively on it.

The cooperation with the client was very lively, pleasant, meaningful and constructive. 

The silo will operate in Spain.
